July 2nd 2018: Back to Pawtucket RI

I started out today with an Egg and Bacon Sandwich from Heidi's Restaurant, a diner in Waltham.

Nothing special though.

After work, it was on to Lincoln RI, where I started with a visit to the Handy Pond Conservation Area at 310 Old River Road. I thought I needed to hike here, but thankfully Rochambeau Pond was close enough to the road.

Next, I walked around the Lincoln Mall for a bit

Before going for a drive hike around Lincoln Woods State Park, where the path I took is show below in pink.

Really nice,

especially all around Olney Pond.

With that, I decided to call it a day for sightseeing, going to Geoff's Superlative Sandwiches, a cafe nearby,

where I got the Godfather (hot pepperoni, genoa salami, provolone, pepperoncini, oil).

Pretty tasty, though a little oily.

Not satisfied, I headed to my next meal at Mount Fuji Japanese Steakhouse, a pretty clubby looking bar restaurant.

I got the Tempura Shrimp (deep fried shrimp with veggies)

and the Elephant Roll (peanut butter, avocado, topped with spicy crabmeat, fish roe, crunchy and spicy mayo sauce).

The shrimp was not bad, although getting the peanut butter to work with sushi was pretty surprising  to me. Even though nothing much else on the menu was interesting, I think this place is worth visiting more than once.

A pretty productive day of sightseeing in Rhode Island today, to say the least.
